Fading Memories: Album Artworks for Radiohead's Amnesiac

[radioheadarchive]

From Radiohead's Kid A Mnesia Exhibition

[whisperthatruns]

Look---here he comes, his bones are willow & he sings in birds. He rises in marsh, slips forwards by ripple & shiver. Between his tree-ribs birds flutter, then swoop ahead to settle, sing, quiver. His head is a raven’s, his eyes are wrens’ nests. By day from his throat fly finch & fire-crest & in anger he speaks only in swifts.

Look---here she comes, her skin is lichen & her flesh is moss & her bones are fungi, she breathes in spores & she moves by hyphae. She is a rock-breaker, a tree-speaker, a place-shaper, a world-maker.

Robert Macfarlane and Stanley Donwood, from Ness, Ghostways: Two Journeys in Unquiet Places (W. W. Norton & Company, 2020; orig. pub. 2018)

Apparently, this is also the cover for Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief. Huh.

Pretty obviously, this one, much like the album it graces the cover of, is pretty political. I mean the words make it pretty clear. “Drugs”, “security” (possibly anti security), “AIDS”, “Oil”, “God” and “Sale” all being crammed together feels pretty clearly political. These little squares invoke the feeling of signs you might see along roads. Ads for video stores, tanning salons, pools, oil changes, gasoline, vacancies at long stay motels, 24hr stores. But also, the way they’re arranged transforms these single words, originally simple ways of conveying information, into a political statement.

The way the black leaks into the blue and white ocean-like background invokes an oil spill, as well as all of these ideas spilling out and corrupting it (perhaps even the consumerism as a corrupting force).

I will say, seeing Grand Guignol definitely caught me off guard! I have no idea what this is referring to in 2003, I’m only familiar with the historical Parisian theatre. 

Though, one could extrapolate meaning from this being placed just under “Girls”, a sign which would usually indicate some sort of strip club advertisement. (Something something violent horrific exploitation of women? Idk, I’ll let you guys do some of the thinking yourselves).

Cool historical facts aside... More than anything, I agree with Donwood on his art. It feels unsettling. The bright colors especially. The removal of advertising language from it’s context feels off-putting and just reminds one how off-putting it can be to be sold something...

It doesn’t really get my goat though, y’know? It’s good, it’s got this creeping sense of unease that accompanies it, but I don’t find it strictly erotic. 1/10, just personally.
